Moving in

You do not have to start from zero. Aevo reads tasks from other tools.

Import tasks

1. Export your tasks from the old tool:
   • Todoist: open the project, menu, "Export as CSV".
   • TickTick: settings, account, generate backup.
   • Anything else: a CSV table with a column "title", "task" or "name".
2. In Aevo open Settings, then Account & profile.
3. Under "Import data" click Choose file.

The tasks land in the active workspace. What is already there stays unchanged. Importing the same file twice creates copies.

What is taken over from which format is listed under Data.

After the import

Imported tasks often have no effort and no stars. Two moves help:

• Open the List and sort by "Date created". That way you go through the new tasks one after another.
• Give the ten most important tasks a deadline, stars and an effort first. The rest may sit at the bottom until its turn comes.

Capture new things quickly

For everything that comes to mind in between there is quick capture. Press N, type one line, press Enter.

You can write details into the same line:

Quote Meyer #website !! 45m friday

That becomes a task "Quote Meyer" in the project Website, with two stars, 45 minutes of effort and "Work on" next Friday. All shorthand is listed under Shorthand and shortcuts.

Try it

1. Press N.
2. Type Call the dentist ! 10m tomorrow and press Enter.
3. Type goal: Half marathon and press Enter. That becomes a goal.
4. Close quick capture with Esc and look at both tiles.

That covers the essentials. Everything else is in the how-to guides.
